Livid Aringa fires salvo at Sofapaka after Darajani Gogo elimination from FKF Cup

Incensed Darajani Gogo coach Caleb Aringa has fired an attack to Sofapaka FC in the wake of their FKF Cup elimination on Saturday afternoon.

Darjani Gogo, a National Super League side vying to climb to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League, were looking to make it to the quarterfinals at Police Sacco Stadium as they welcomed Batoto ba Mungu.

The Hawks had chances in the game but were also left frustrated by what Aringa believes were 'unsportsmanlike antics' from Sofapaka.

"I honestly don't think Sofapaka deserved to beat us. They blew the wind out of the game. We thought they would come and play good football, but they did not give us the opposition we needed.

It was a boring game. Sofapaka sat back, they created just two chances in the whole game, and it was embarrassing on their part because they are big boys.

We thought this was to be the greatest match in our lives. We love to play tiki-taka, but here one team was playing, the other was sitting back," said Aringa.

Sofapaka coach David Ouma said he expected the amateur side to come at them hard after their startling performances in the NSL.

"It was a bad day for Gogo, but I have to promise to come for some few good players that I saw in their team.Remember their striker Moyo I am the one who polished him and you can see he scored against us," Ouma said.

Sofapaka took the lead courtesy of Sebastien Sunday before Darajani Gogo levelled via Rashid Moyo through a spot kick in the match.

Congolese forward Rody Manga grabbed the winner for Batoto ba Mungu with an overhead kick in the second stanza.

Darajani Gogo will now focus on another tough outing where they will face Kisumu All Stars on Wednesday in a National Super League fixture.

Sofapaka, on their side, will be in action on the weekend of April 28-29th in an FKF Cup match against Ulinzi Stars.
